The Ordinary - rainydaysinfebruary review for Salicylic Acid 2% Masque

Okay, I need to share my thought because I am so impressed by this product. I read so many good reviews about this so I decided to try it as I am fighting with some serious breakouts at the moment and even some deep, painful cysts. I followed the instructions, applied it on a clean, dry face and let it do its job. I mainly applied this on my forehead, nose and chin and my jawline, where the breakouts are occuring. Let it sit for a bit (I did not wait the whole 10 minutes as I wanted to see how my skin would react), washed it off and immediately after my skin felt cleansed, but not tight or dry, and the swelling of some of my pimples definitely subsided a bit. I had no feelings of burning or tingling when I had this on my skin, and no redness after I removed it, my skin did not react and pretty much vibed with this product. I was so surprised because I expected to see results only after a couple of days, but I did my usual hydrating night routine afterwards and went to sleep. When I woke up the next morning I could already tell that my skin felt different than how it felt like before I put the masque on. Pimples that only just started growing pretty much „died“ without any redness or swelling left behind, pimples that were alread mature also shrinked in size and swelling. My skin felt so smooth I could not really believe that this was all just from this product. I am so happy that this masque worked so well for me and if you have oily/ combo acne prone skin, I would absolutely recommend this to you. It worked wonders on my skin and I cant wait for next week to come so I can try it out again. Just make sure to follow up with a hydrating, soothing serum or essence and wear your spf in the morning!
